The consideration of certain thermodynamic properties of fluids has led the authors to formulate jointly an equation of state which appears to reproduce accurately the pressure-volume-tempera ture data. It is believed that this equation has to a unique degree the following desirable qualities. (a) The numerical values of the constants can be determined easily and uniquely from the pressure-volume-temperature data, and with one exception can be obtained as the intercepts or slopes of straight lines by suitable treatment of the data. ( h ) The equation is readily amenable to mathematical manipulation since it is completely algebraic. Hence, most of the usual thermodynamic relations can be integrated in terms of elementary functions as, for example, pdv (and therefore vdp) a t constant temperature. (c) The equation fits the data over a wide range of pressures and temperatures, reproducing the trends as well as the actual pressures. (d) The volume and temperature functions, A , B and E can be expanded further, if necessary, without alteration of the general form of the equation. This extension has not as yet been found necessary in the applications which have been made by the authors to gases even up t o pressures of 300 atmospheres. The proposed equation has the following form R T ( 1 - e ) (. + B ) - A @ =

where A = Ao(1 - a/v), B = BO (1 - b/v) and E = c/vT3. This relation is being tested on all of the available data on fluids, and this extensive application, together with a theoretical basis for the equation and the detailed method for obtaining the numerical values of the constants, will be given later. I n the present article, the equation is applied to the data on gaseous ethyl ether3 and carbon dioxideI4and the numerical values of the constants for these substances are given in Table I. The units of pressure, volume and temperature are the atmosphere, cc. per gram, and degrees absolute where T o = 1' 273.13.

Summary There is presented a new equation of state which has to a unique extent the desirable features of ( a ) easy and accurate evaluation of the constants from pressure-volume-temperature data, ( b ) ease of mathematical manipulation including the integrability of vdp a t constant temperature in terms of elementary functions, (c) accurate representation of the data and their trends, and ( d ) flexibility, in that without alteration of the general form of the equation more terms can be added, if necessary. The equation, which contains five constants and the gas constant, reproduces the data on gaseous ethyl ether and carbon dioxide a t least t o a specific volume of 5 cc. per gram, with an average deviation over the whole range of 0.022 and 0.030 atm., respectively (0.07 and 0.08%).

THE SOLID SOLUBILITY OF ANTIMONY IN LEAD AS DETERMINED BY CONDUCTIVITY MEASUREMENTS ON COLDWORKED ALLOYS BY EARLE E. SCHUMACHER AND GEORGE M. BOUTON RECEIVED APRIL16, 1927

PUBLISHED JULY 5, 1927

Introduction In 1923, Dean' showed the existence of an appreciable solid solubility of antimony in lead a t the eutectic temperature. Shortly thereafter Dean, Hudson and Fogler2 demonstrated that dispersion hardening takes place in these alloys. They found that a 2.5% antimony alloy, a homogeneous solid solution a t 247', precipitated more than half of its antimony from solution after being maintained a t room temperature for a short time. A more detailed study of the solubility conditions, using the conductivity method to follow changes of solubility with temperature, was made by Dean, Zickrick and Nix.3 Unfortunately, a t the lower temperatures, they were unable to obtain equilibrium values due to the slow rate of precipitation of the solute. Recent work indicates that the rate of precipitation of the excess of antimony is greatly accelerated if the alloys are first severely cold-worked. Presumably equilibrium would be reached much more quickly under these conditions. Therefore, it seemed desirable to determine the solid solubility values for antimony in lead on severely cold-worked alloys, hoping thereby t o secure more accurate values than those previously obtained.

Photomicrographs Showing the Effect of Cold Work Several photomicrographs, taken by Mr. F. F. Lucas4 of these Laboratories, are given to show the structural effect of cold work in these alloys. A lead-antimony alloy containing 1% of antimony and 99% of lead was cast in the form of a rod, 0.5 inch (1.3 cm.) in diameter. This rod was heated a t 230' for one hour to get most of the undissolved antimony into solution. The rod was then divided and one section was severely cold-worked by swaging. Both the worked and unworked sections were maintained at room temperature, 20' for five days and then photomicrographs were taken of each. The specimens photographed Dean, THISJOURNAL, 45, 1683 (1923).
